If an object floats, the volume of the displaced water is equal to the volume of the portion of the object that's above the surface of the water. true or false

FALSE

Explanation:

When object float in water then it means that weight of the object is counterbalanced by the buoyancy force.

Here as we know that buoyancy force is the weight of water displaced by the object.

So here when object is submerged into the water then the submerged part of the volume of object will displace exactly the same volume of water and that volume of water will exert upwards buoyancy force on the object.

So here this statement is not true as it says that volume of water displaced is volume above the surface of water while it must be like volume of water displaced must be equal to volume of submerged part of the object.

the answer would most likely be c, because if it's a comical piece of information, it may likely not be true, if it's a site that allows anybody to edit the content, it could mean a five year old is typing the info, and if it's a tv show produced by a celeb, it may have a biased opinion.

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.
